Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family - Chapter 616: Design to Make Money

Gu Xinglang stuffed a piece of dessert in his hand into her mouth: "Try it, it tastes good."

Yang Luo glared at him unhappily.

Gu Xingyan ordered Mo Lin to bring Gu Xinglang back to the inn.

Knowing that Yanyan was anxious, he went to the Duke's Mansion in person.

……

At the same time, after Gu Xingyan and others left the East Palace, Ling Heng let Su Yueming in.

As soon as Su Yueming entered, he fell to his knees. His forehead was covered in blood from kowtows just now.

Ling Heng sat in a wide chair, with a changeable expression on his face, looking coldly at Su Yueming who was kneeling on the ground.

Ling Heng was furious. He grabbed a memorial beside him and smashed it on his head: "Su Yueming! Do you really think I dare not hand you over to Gu Xingyan? You really raised a bastard son!"

"I have failed to teach my son well. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

"For a prostitute in a brothel, he was so bold as to kill an envoy from another country. I think it is useless to keep your son alive. It will only bring you trouble!"

Su Yueming didn't dare to refute, he just kept crying and kowtowing.

Ling Heng was still furious, staring at the person kneeling on the ground: "Tell me how I can save your son."

Su Yueming raised his bloodstained face, which looked sinister, making him look ferocious.

"Your Highness, the son of the Daliang Rui Prince secretly entered our Northern Jin. He must be a spy. Your Highness can order the imperial guards to capture him again and force the Ninth Prince to give in."

Ling Heng sneered, "You are quite calculating. But he entered Beijin as a drug dealer. Gu Xingyan has just shown me all the evidence, and all the procedures are complete. Otherwise, why do you think I would let him go?"

Ling Heng sneered: "The Chuzhou Trade Fair invites merchants from all over the world, but you let me slander him as a spy."

"Heh, Su Yueming, do you want me to lose my credibility with the world, or do you want him to be Gu Xingyan and Daliang who can be manipulated by us?"

Su Yueming stopped talking, and a sad expression appeared on his face again.

Seeing his expression, Ling Heng knew that his pig brain couldn't come up with any good plan.

Su Yueming raised his head suddenly: "Sufficient compensation? How much?"

"Five million taels of silver."

Su Yueming was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head: "Five, five million taels of silver? Why don't the people of Daliang go and rob them!"

Ling Heng snorted lightly: "You can't blame your son for what happened to him. First, Fu Chenhui didn't reveal his identity, and second, the brothel called Xiangxiang Pavilion is poorly managed."

Su Yueming heard something different in Ling Heng's words, and raised his head, which had just drooped: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what do you mean..."

"Some time ago, I asked you to collect 30% tax from merchants and distribute silver to officials above the fifth rank. How is this going?"

Su Yueming didn't want the prince to bring up this matter at this time, which made him even more worried. It was like one thing failed and another one came up.

"Your Highness, I am powerless to do anything about this matter. Taxes have been collected until the 22nd year of Jingzhang, and now they are going to increase by another 30%. Merchants will really have no way to survive."

Ling Heng listened to Su Yueming's nonsense and didn't bother to talk to him any more: "Cai Zhong, go to Jingzhao Prefecture and pass on my order to hand Su Binxu over to the Ninth Prince of Daliang."

Su Yueming was horrified when he heard this: "Your Highness, this is impossible!"

Ling Heng looked down at Su Yueming, whose pale face was covered with bloodstains. "Can the tax be increased by another 30%?"

"can!"

Su Yueming's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "Yes!"

"Very good. Lord Su is very capable and deserves to be the Minister of Revenue chosen by the emperor. Let Lord Su stay in prison for a few days. Once the Daliang delegation leaves, I will ask Jingzhao Prefecture to release him."

Su Yueming thought she had misheard: "Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Since I have promised you this matter, I will definitely do it no matter how difficult it is. I hope that Lord Su can do exactly what he promised me just now."

Su Yueming stood up tremblingly, glanced at Ling Heng's black hair, and nodded silently: "Eunuch Cai is right."

Su Yueming left the palace, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with what happened today.

I always feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already thought of doing this before the Ninth Prince of Daliang entered the palace.

When he went to ask the prince for help, he fell into the trap set by the prince and got money for him.

It's all bullshit!

As soon as Su Yueming returned home, he saw Liu with red and swollen eyes, looking at him eagerly.

He was so angry that he pointed at her nose and cursed: "What a spoiled mother is, what a spoiled mother is!"

Then he ordered his men to drag Liu away and beat her up.

The next day, in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison, the jailer distributed food to the prisoners while yawning.

When they arrived at the last cell, the jailer's yawn was abruptly stopped by fear: "Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"

A human figure was dangling from the beam of the prison.

The coroner performed an autopsy and found that the person had been dead for two or three hours.

And the other side.

Xu and Fang were imprisoned in the same cell.

In fact, when Mrs. Xu saw her son being brought in, she was not crazy at all.

Everyone thought she was crazy because she was laughing, laughing wildly towards the sky and shouting "retribution", "it's all retribution".

No one turned around to look as they passed by their cell door.

After all, the two of them were fighting each other at the moment, so they had no time to care about what was happening outside.

They grabbed each other's hair and neither of them was willing to let go first.
